Military research should be inherently transparent. All of the data should be open and shared in entirety. It would take the edge away from the nationalist psychosis rampant around the world. It's telling that the outcome is seen as a threat.
Wars are extension of politics (and economics) and there's hardly any nobility in them except in romantic literature. Wars are a marriage of selfishness and greed no matter whose side you are on. In the end someone happens to stay alive, creeps out of the fog and declares a win. Killing another human being in a war is not a noble but a practical act.
The noblest of all are those who refuse to take arms. Sadly millions in the world live their lives in a psychosis of nationalism and willingly follow (If the army is seen as a viable alternative to make your living and to live a life of happiness there's something gravely wrong in the nation) their leaders to the end in a coma, defending the craziest causes and selfish aggressive projects.
The logic would therefore be that we need something to unite us and free us from the deeply ingrained thought patterns. Even if the expedition to Mars provided to be failure it would be a unifying experience and a great symbolic leap to somewhere else.
Most probably things advance as usual and the only place we can truly feel unity is in misery. The masochistic beating continues until we all can feel the pain of the others as our own. The moment is still far away.
The arrogance and selfishness lead astray a bit. The war wasn't won by just massing in troops but also because of the tactical and strategic mistakes by Germany. One can claim whatever, but the things just happened to go like that with help from the German leadership. The nationalist fervor is based on a false pretense. We should have gotten rid off it already after we killed each other by millions, but the winning states divided the world between each other and locked into trenches.
One of the founding ideas of the EU is to prevent that kind of wars and thinking happening again.
If you have first worked with the 24bit 48khz or better original for few days (a mixing or mastering job) the differences are easy to spot, and the mp3 compression feels like a rape. Mp3 compression sounds spotty and grainy at the highest quality settings too. The coherence of the original sound is lost forever.
The compression algorithms which use the frequency masking technique work great with earphone listening or anechoic chambers, but in real life there are all kind of scattered reflections coming at different times to your ears, and so the masked frequencies would be heard if there were any.
Using digital technology great things can be achieved, and not so far in the future there will be enough bandwidth and processing power to handle lossless audio streams of the highest quality.
Why don't we all have a factory that produces money? I'm thinking of times when we can print and produce personal cash, or have an ATM do that for you. The basis would be our real savings or other assets, which would be transformed into legal tenders of our choice.
In a future world where everything is electronic it's a nice touch to have something tangible once in a while.
Actually it will create a group of dedicated people who do read his stuff. Money also flows from other news organizations and other commercial or non-commercial entities, who wish to appear on or support the Murdoch empire. Even if they couldn't support the whole business, having a loyal and dedicated readership could provide useful in the future, and not only to Murdoch.
I'm running a competition to see who can program an AI that will create the game Super Mario Bros, by analyzing the behavior patterns of human subjects.
Soy doesn't necessarily make the product green. Where is the soy produced, is it genetically modified, what's the carbon imprint of the whole product? How much processing does the soy need to become ink-like, and what chemicals are used along the way?
It might be cool to have soy based toner in your printer, but the overall damage to the environment may be wider and larger. A lot of companies greenwash their products in order to widen their customer base.
The Wikipedia article seems to have some answers. Moving away from petroleum is an advantage.
We should now all go and test these awesome features at the nearest store. It's Nokia vs Apple, and I'm seeing a holiday coming up. I'm hearing there will be a lot of sales around tomorrow too.
I guess the teachings of the US produced textbooks really hit the right notes in the Afghan schoolchildren. Promotion of violent extremism seems to have been a lucrative business.
The reality is deep gray. Who's war are you waging today?
The arms industry is not the root cause of evil, but it lives from it. Ignorance and selfishness are the root causes. The weapons do not educate, but eradicate, and the conflicts live on. The extremists draw support from the uneducated masses, who do not know better.
Which would you do, fuse or defuse? I'd rather live in a world of no threats than in the world of balanced threats. By investing in education, children and equality the basis of conflicts is drawn off.
But alas! There wouldn't be any market for weapons then.. and the cycle continues.

There really aren't allies or enemies.
The allies are the ones who support your cause and help to achieve your objectives. Everything else is collateral damage.
The guy should smash his own head. That would be cool. Should make a great meme too!
Oh, let's piss off the Germans . . .grand idea . . . in Europe, that always ends in tears.

You mean the theory that compares apples and oranges?

There's one field where R&D triumphs - the military.
Copying the first paragraph does not helpful summary make, mmm.

Yes. There are no distances.

With all the mess around I think that's the general government policy.

Following your logic the members of the UN security council + a few others should be put in jail.
Actually, that is what really should be done rather than comb the deserts and backyards of countries that most have never heard of.
